Application filed June a, 1925. Serial No. 34,730,,

Our invention relates specifically to cards 7 for displaying canned products, and has for 'its object to provide a display card for this purpose which'is extremely slmple and cheap to inanufacture, is easily adjusted to and firmly supported by the can, and will effec-- tively advertise the product.

' To this end our invention consists briefly of a cardboard blank formed with a circular or body portion and a depending straight or leg portion, the latter having its lower end creased to be-bent forward as a bed for the rim of the can and I ing drawings'forming part'of thisapplication in which like parts are deslgnatedby the 7 display card embodying our invention used vention into effect and then particularly point out the invention in the claim. I

Reference is to be had to the accompanysame numbers in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a front elevationshowing a to advertise a canned product.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the same. Figure 3 shows the blank from which this form of'ou'r display card is'made. I

To make our display card we form a blank 1 shown in Figure 3 preferably of cardboard with a circular body portion 10, and a straight or leg portion .11 depending from g the body'and having its lower end 16 creased transversely at 12 so that it can be bent for-l ward at a right angle to the body and leg portions. 7 At the lower part of the body portion we cutout a squared portionor tongue 13, severed from the body portion at the sides and bottom and creased across its upper. end as at 14, so that it can be bent forward at a right angle to the body portion, slots 15,

thus secure the card body preferably circular in form, being cut up-Q 1 wvard. from the respective upper corners of the tongue 13, as bestshown in Figures 1 f and r This dis lay cal-a r used as shown in Fig: ures 1 and'2, the can containing the product 2 to be displayed being placed on the forwardly bent lower end 16 as a bed, the medial forwardly bent tongue 13, rested on topof the can, and the rim of thecan being received in the slots 15, so as to lock the card to the can and holdvit' firmly erect; To'positionthe rim of the'can in slots 15, it will be necesi sary to slightly bend the leg 11 at point 17 thus placing pressure on the contacts of slots 15 with the rim and securing the dev ce in position. The advertisement of the product on the circular or body portion 10 will thus be shown in close proximity to the product v and will serve effectively to display and advertise the same. a It is evident that the specific construction herein shown and described maybe varied in detail without departing from the boundaries of our invention as defined'by'the fol lowing claim. 7 e

lVe claim as our invention:
